FFI preprocessor for GHC

[Per Larsson]

Hello,

I would instead suggest greencard as a good preprocessor. It is portable in 
the sense that it outputs haskell code in accordance with the new FFI 
specification. Also, it has an input format which, in my opinion, is easier 
to learn and is better documented than hsc2hs. You can download the program 
and manual at:
http://haskell.org/greencard/
